Sports are often billed as a way to get out side, breathe the air, and have fun with your friends. While this may be true, underneath there is a more sinister force at work. Sports have typically been a man's domain, used to reinforce male gender roles by achieving goals in a violent and aggressive manner. Women in contrast have been traditionally forced to play "gay sports" like croquet, or card games like go-fish or mahjong. But what does this have to do with homosexuality? Well, sports involve the psuedo-sexual behavior of touching other men, in ways that, outside of the sport, would be deemed aberrant and "gay".

For example, in Rugby, thirty sweaty men run around a field and proceed to lie on top of each other to control the possession of the ball. You wouldn't get away with that in normal life unless you were naked in bed with your sexual partner(s). While the game is violent, and there is the goal of winning, this is simply a veil. The real underlying reason is to allow men to act out their subconscious homosexual feelings within a male sphere of violence. By doing this they placate their homosexual desire, thereby reducing it. This allows their heterosexual desire to "take over," reaffirming the traditional view of masculinity of being heterosexual and violent. Piled on top of this is violence, or even warlike virtues of honor and loyalty, which hides the homosexuality of sport, twisting it into the opposite of anything "gay" and instead, into the pinnacle of heterosexual behavior. Sport therefore, is a defensive mechanism designed by people to reject the "wrong" sexual desires they consciously or subconsciously feel within themselves.

There are many examples to back up this idea. Baseball, a sport where there is limited chance for players to touch each other within the game, resort to wearing skin tight pants and patting each other on the buttocks when their fellow players, "do good." What do these same players do when the win the World Series? They metaphorically "climax", by congregating in a huge pile on the pitchers mound (no pun intended).
What do hockey players do when they score? They go hug each other after the goal. An incident in soccer this year takes the "gayness" of sport to another level. While these may be proof positive of the thesis proposed, the coup de grace in this case has to be "pro-wrestling". In a bizarre duality, the World Wrestling Federation projects an extremely aggressive image of masculinity, while at the same time the most obvious and blatant homosexual imagery in all of sports. Furthermore the WWF is fake. It is theatre for the ignorant masses. It is well known that real theatre is populated by gay people; the connection between the two is obvious. The WWF, however refuses to acknowledge its blatent homosexual undercurrents, and tries to veil it with violence and other "manly" behaviors. Men in their underpants, covered in oil, wrestling each other is obviously homoerotic. Add to this the ripping off of shirts to reveal bare chests, and special moves where men's heads are in each others crotches and you have to wonder why Attorney General Ashcroft hasn't tried to ban this sport. The reason lies in the violence and misogyny presented by the actors. Smashing each other in the head with chairs, drinking beer, hitting women and generally treating them as sexual objects, all move the focus away from the obvious homoeroticism of the spectacle and towards traditional heterosexual values of manly strength and virtue.

The men watching sports, share in the homo-excitement that the sport projects. This is a safe way to placate homosexual desires, because "watching sports" has been labeled as a "man's pastime" which runs against female values. The clichéd story of the husband who undermines his wife's demands to watch the football game, stands as an obvious example. The homoeroticism of each sport obviously has degrees; and reflects the demands of its viewing public. The fans of the WWF, are obviously people with the highest need for homosexual relief because they watch the "gayest" of all sports. The fact that this "hyper-gayness" is veiled with "hyper-masculinity" suggests a deep seated need in WWF fans to hide their homosexual needs with the violence of traditional masculine values. They simply refuse to come to grips with their sexuality.

Where does this lead us? Others have argued that homosexuality is the next step in human evolution. This essay would argue that most men are at least bisexual, and are currently secretly satiating their biological urges by participating and watching "manly" sport. Women reject there own bisexuality to a far lesser degree. They don't have a similar vechicle to act out their homosexual desires. "Straight" female characters on TV, like on Friends for example, have engaged in lesbian behaviors with no detriment to their images as characters or careers as actors. Joey and Chandler kissing would not fly, but when Phoebe, Winnona Ryder, and Rachael do, it brings in huge ratings. Obviously the mainstream is comfortable with bisexuality in women. Furthermore the image of the jock needs to be revised. No longer can jocks be deemed staples of man-hood, but as secretly gay or bisexual men acting out their feelings in the safest manner avalible to them. With the massive numbers of people that play and watch sport, the oft quoted statistic that 10% of the population is gay or bisexual, must be revised and pushed up to at least 95%.

If you are a parent and your son loves the WWF, you have a choice to make. Obviously he is at least interested in homosexual behaviors; to what degree is another question. To prevent him from watching the WWF will reduce his outlet for homosexual desire, thereby bottling it up until he explodes at age 25 and moves to San Francisco. If you do prevent him from watching the WWF, the only other avenue I can think of, that is comparably "gay", would be to get him working on the Linux kernel with Alan Cox.
As Western society becomes more and more liberal the future looks very bisexual. Eventually the WWF will drop the auspices of violence and become a male make-out body massaging show; with the other sports following in a less homoerotic manner.

Others have argued that homosexuality is the next step in human evolution.

Bull. "Evolution" can be used to explain absolutely anything. Its major use as a scientific theory lies in its particular ability to sneak liberal homosexualist propaganda onto otherwise reputable publications.

Likewise, the homosexual subtext of physical sport is blatantly obvious to anyone. Its function, naturally, is to instill men the sense of cameraderie and selflessness that is necessary during battle. At the same time, it accustoms men to existing with a large amount of homosexual tension and frustration without descending into debauchery--the application to warfare is obvious.

All information wants to be free, especially information about what you do in the privacy of your own home.

Maybe you all already knew this, but not me. I'm from the midwest, where people think fraternities are bastions of brotherhood.

While in college I attempted to pledge a frat. I was lured in by the promises of inside info on all of my classes, 'networking' for future professional contacts, and parties and sluts and beer. I fell for it. Very quickly I realized that fraternities aren't the wholesome ogranizations they purport to be. The level of homoeroticism was higher in the frat house than in any gay bar I have ever stepped foot in.

Gay men don't bother me. Nor does gayness in general. I've known enough gays to know that the fear of being 'converted' or 'seduced' is unfounded (unless of course you really are gay and don't know it yet), but I don't plan to join any of them in any sort of sexual activity. Not the frat brothers though, no sir. The vast majority of the initiation ceremonies I was expected to participate in were centered around some kind of homosexual act. Elephant walks, sperm laden biscuits, writing the greek alphabet with the marker you've stuck in your ass. This shit was marketed to me as some kind of bonding experience. Fuck those guys, if I wanted to bond like that I could do it on film and get paid for it.

Make no mistake moms and dads out there. If your son is planning to join a fraternity, he is most likely either a closeted homosexual or an unwitting sucker. If it is the latter you might want to warn him. If it is the former, have a talk with the boy. Let him know that he doesn't have to join an oppressive pseudo masculine group of false flagging alcoholics for you to accept him.

It sounds like you found an odd frat from what I've experienced. The fraternity that some friends and I just started on our campus is very reputable for the absence of hazing from ceremonies, and discouragement of it, in general, from any function we sponsor.

As for the queers, I suppose it's very possible that some of the frats out there are a little gay, thank God ours won't be like that while I'm there.

Have I ever told you how much your writing style turns me on? Every single one of your posts makes me SO HOT.-----

Adequacy (the very name conjuring up homosexual thoughts - are you "adequate"?) has had crap articles on before (very frequently before) but this one is seriously the biggest dum of the day.

I take it the author as NEVER played sport, or congratulated someone (a male) when they have achieved something, because according to the article, to do so would be expressing your homosexual desires. Nor would he dare hug his son or daughter (so as not to display any paedophile desires), or own a pet (obvious bestiality signs). so instead what we have is a lonely man siting in front of his computer screen afraid of the world. I pity you, I do.

I play a lot of sport, I have 2 kids and 2 dogs, so I guess that makes me a guy who obviously must sleep with young male puppies.

Piled on top of this is violence, or even warlike virtues of honour and loyalty - Honour and loyalty are not purely a violent, warlike behaviour. Are you honourable and loyal? I bet you think you are. Are you violent? I bet you think you are not. True honour and loyalty (nad not just mouthing it) to family and friends is a high ideal rarely achieved and often it is looked upon with a sneer by those unable to obtain it.

Men in their underpants, covered in oil, wrestling each other is obviously homoerotic - This is a massively arrogant statement! You are saying that because you find oil and underpants a "obviously" homoerotic turn on, we must all find that so. Not everyone shares your fantasies, that it is erotic for you is fine, lets not generalise without proof please (I bet you get turned on by roman wrestling too).

If you are a parent and your son loves the WWF - And what if you are a parent and your daughter loves WWF? Again you are generalising that only men watch it. Should a daughter it be given counselling because by watching it she obviously has a deep rooted desire to want to watch men getting it on with each other? Which is a double standard because you a quite happy to watch two women get it off aren't you! (Obviously the mainstream is comfortable with bisexuality in women)

And he we get to the crux of the article, for the first two thirds you go on and on making excuses for men's covert bisexual nature, and then you start expressing the desire of the mainstream to change its view of men so they can act out their feelings in the safest manner available to them. Its really ok you know, if you just tell people you are gay (or bisexual) they will understand, there is no need to write a huge article trying make excuses for your desires. Myself and most of the "mainstream" would be quite happy to except that you are gay.

This site should be called inadequacy.org - where people go to blame others for thier own inadequacies. I bet the real reason for the story is that the author throws like a girl and is embarrased by it. Or it could be that he feels inadequate by being bombarded with sports images of men that are more physically virile than he.

Well it seems obvious that you are attracted and repulsed at the same time by half naked men wrestling. So you really think that men bashing each other over the head with folding chairs is homoerotic? I suppose all the ridiculous trash talking and threateining behavior is homoerotic to
you also. Wrestling is the domain of puberty aged boys who are looking for role models who appear masculine, powerful and take no crap from anyone. I can watch wrestling for about 5 minutes untill my intelligence is insulted beyond tolerance. I can hardly imagine the state of mind that you have to have to enjoy that garbage for an hour. Its almost like rolling back evolution to the time of the cromagnum man. You know the cartoons the caveman clubs the woman over the head and drags her home, his only essential skills are fighting and threatening. Evolution weeded him out, except for TV wrestling characters.

Smashing each other in the heads with chairs and being "manly" is just a safe way for the wrestlers and the people who enjoy wrestling, to fulfull their homosexual fantasies. The violence and severe masculinity "covers up" the homosexual undercurrents, both making it a safe way to express their feelings AND keep their homosexuality a secret from others.

blahh! Whats your reason for doing so much important research into the homoeroticism of wrestling? Do you like spending alot of time by yourself watching wrestling? hmmmm? Maybe Mr. Rightman can get you an appointment to be exorcised.

I was a wrestling fan briefly at the height of its popularity about 3 or 4 years ago. Everybody seemed to like it, and I thought it was somewhat entertaining. Then after about 4 months, I saw Goldust force another man's face into his crotch, and I said to myself "This is way too homoerotic for my tastes." I then stopped watching.

Maybe research isn't the right word, and you are probably better off for not having watched pro wrestling. But don't claim it's good clean heterosexual fun if you know nothing about it._

Are you arguing that atheletes should stop playing sports and come out of the closet or arguing they should continue to use sports to hide and control their homo-erotic urges?

On one hand, if all athletes came out it would change the face of politics. The gay agenda would be legitamized...the stock market would crash, we would elect a female president, and "tea time" would stop being a joke only about the British.

On the other hand, cheerleaders would still be present at sporting events.

It's not just soccer or wrestling. In a recent 'Aussie Rules' indicent, an opponent's testicles were orally stimulated, while the biggest sporting scandal in the country last year was a rugby player who kept inserting his finger up the anuses of opponents.

Sounds like someone was so sad an athlete that they sat on the bench their whole youth. Now they are taking it out on the establishment instead of taking the blame on their own shoulders for not quiting when they had the chance.

I have played sports my entire life (primarily baseball) and although I agree with you about the WWF because it's not a sport, I have never had the slightest inkling of homoerotic fantasies of any kind while I played or in my life for that matter.

And no homosexuality is not an evolutionary occurance, humans/mammals are not asexual. The whole purpose of being here is to procreate, and that's obviously not possible if your a flaming faggot. And yes I have no problem saying I'm a homophobe because it's not natural its just sick.

The word "dumbass" is spelled as one word, "dumbass". That's "dumbass", not "dumb ass"; the way you spelled it the phrase means roughly "stupid donkey", and I am sure you in fact meant the canonical American word "dumbass". So yes, indeed, you should have written "dumbass". I hope you will take this lesson to heart, and will write "dumbass" in the future, the way the word "dumbass" is supposed to be spelled by any red-blooded American.

Oh, I would ever so love it if you did kick my ass. I'm getting all hot and steamy just thinking about it. I can just imagine your masculine hands, sculpted by years of handling and fondling that big, sexy, bat, pummeling my frail and boyish figure... Ooh! Ooh! Harder! Yes, harder! Please! Harder!

I think everyone agrees that the WWF is gay: A bunch of men shave their legs, put on make up and try to hold each other... No one can look at that objectively and claim that it is not designed to arouse homosexual urges.

On the other hand, golf is a sport where heterosexuals can feel accepted.

Since this entire page seems to need to see homoerotic things everywhere they turn lets help induce their already well developed sense of paranoia.
Golf, a game where one man hands a stick to another man, who's sole task is to use his stick hit a ball into a hole as fast as possible.
Oh my God, the PGA Tour is merely a Gay movement cover-up!
The world will end as we know it! Hell and damnation for everyone (including those people who are so homophobic it is just funny. Let those who have committed no sin cast the first stone).

The good thing about golf is men and women can participate together. As a general rule, I'm suspicious of the sports which ban women from participating. Those sports tend to be less accepting towards heterosexuals.

including those people who are so homophobic it is just funny. Let those who have committed no sin cast the first stone.

I never said that homosexuality was a sin. I just said that I don't feel that homosexuals are not very supportive of my heterosexuality. I do feel uncomfortable with all the butt slapping and rubbing that goes on in homosexual sports. I can tolerate being treated like a piece of meat by women, but I do not want to be treated that way by men.

I agree that most major sports are now in the hands of the homosexuals. However, there are still quite a few sports that the straight man may enjoy. Figure skating seems to be one, as I often see men and women together out on the ice. I'm told that swimming and diving are free from gays (apparently the gays dislike water.) Finally, lets not forget the two-man luge is 100% hetrosexual and completely free of any homoerotic situations.

You're all queers and that isn't evolution, its called manhood. Men will fuck whatever moves and if there aren't any women around, men will do.

Sir, if you really believe that there is a overt gay agenda being propogated throughout the media to influence and poison today's youth, or that professional sports are just an outlet to plcate "everyman's" latent homosexuality, you seriously need to deal with whatever emotional problems you have. Face your demons, whatever they may be. You seem also to have a problem with the WWF, which I might tell you, is now reffered to as WWE, or World Wrestling Entertainment, due to a suit by the World Wildlife Fund. It's nice to be informed before we go about crititling things. By the way, professional wrestling is not fake. The athletes that preform in the predetermined matches (much like a great many boxing matches, see Sonny Liston v. Ali II) do not hurt each other as severely as it appears, but they do get hurt. Wrestling requires the greatest conditioning of any of the profesional sports today, and you should also know that it takes a great deal more skill to protect an opponent than to brutally beat him. If you perceive men in wrestling tights (which are worn for the sole purpose of not impairing movement) going at odds in the squared circle to be innately homosexual, than I ask you to look in upon yourself. Do you see a real man's man, with not an ounce of homosexual energy in your body? Or do you look inside and hate yourself? Do you take that out on others, or blame others for "poisoning" you? In closing, sir, the ideas that you have presented here are absolutely preposterous, and I ask you to step away from the computer for a while and deal with your demons.
